About this episode

Originally Aired: July 14th, 2019 (Season 3 Episode 13)

Our story tonight is called “At the Summer Fair,” and it’s a story about a yearly tradition and how it changes in the different summers of your life. It’s also about plums taken from the icebox, a handmade cup wrapped in paper, and strolling along the river as the streetlights blink on above you.

So get cozy and ready to sleep.
